We take a long-term view and consider environmental, social and governance aspects when making our decisions. Doing so means we strengthen our readiness for the future, capitalise on opportunities in a changing environment and fulfil our responsibilities to our stakeholders.

As part of our sustainability approach, we 

• pursue specific climate targets,
• promote diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities, as well as the positive development of society and the economy, and
• uphold values-based corporate governance.

In doing so, we focus on opportunities and risks that are material to our business activities and we consider these in our decisions and processes.

Environment: sustainable solutions for the climate and the future

We are committed to aligning our business goals with sustainability targets. With our investment and financing solutions, we support clients in making future-oriented investments. The particular features of our investment products are described in the product documentation.

At the same time, we pursue specific climate targets for our own business activities. We will reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 by following a defined reduction pathway with clear interim targets. We take responsibility for the remaining emissions arising from our banking operations by supporting national and international climate protection projects run by the myclimate foundation. This commitment complements our own reduction measures.

We monitor the development of our greenhouse gas emissions against defined key figures. We report annually on our progress in our Sustainability statement. We prepare the Sustainability statement in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).

Social: involvement with employees and society 

As a company with a focus on its regional roots, we are committed to addressing social issues within our organisation and in the communities in which we operate. 

Within LLB, for example, we promote diversity and inclusion through targeted programmes and measures. Our focus here is on gender equality and the generation mix. Find more at Diversity and inclusion.

Through donations and sponsorships, we support selected projects and initiatives. These are in the areas of social responsibility, culture, sports and the environment and are a reflection of our strong regional connection.
Further information on targets, key figures and other initiatives can be found in our Sustainability statement.

Corporate governance: trust through values and standards

We manage our company with a set of clear values. The values of integrity, respect, passion and excellence are anchored in the LLB Group’s guiding principles. These values guide our decision-making and shape how we work together within the organisation. Internal regulations, effective compliance management and raising awareness among our employees and suppliers support compliance with our standards.

Transparency is an important element of our corporate governance. We provide regular updates about current developments and progress in our Sustainability statement and the legal disclosures.

We are also involved in selected sustainability initiatives. Through these, we foster knowledge exchange and monitor relevant developments:

• Principles for Responsible Banking 
• Principles for Responsible Investment
• UN Global Compact

In addition, we support the Swiss Climate Foundation, which promotes projects in the areas of energy efficiency, climate protection and innovation in both Liechtenstein and Switzerland.
